Lucifer’s Loch, Black Loch, Standing Stones and Cochno Loch. Kilpatrick Hills

The easiest route appeared to be from Auchnacraig car park at Edinbarnet, hiking up first to Jaw/Cochno reservoirs (which we have done a few times now), and then crossing between these two reservoirs and following the footpath to Black loch and then the (sometimes rather indistinct) footpath on to Lucifer’s loch.
The thing about hiking in the Kilpatricks is that even if you get a bit lost, it’s compact enough that you will sooner or later find a route either to where you want to go, or back to where you came from. Having google maps on your phone also helps too, of course.
There are lots of forestry tracks, most of which are marked on google maps, so once you hit one of them you can get a good idea of where you are and which direction you need to head.
After the Black loch, we hit one of the forestry tracks which took us to a high point overlooking Lucifer’s loch. From there, we followed a rough track left by other hikers, through the heather heading along the loch.
In total our walk was approximately 5.8 miles and 1,000 feet elevation gain.
